I believe we will be served what ever our hearts desire - and the very best of that too.
Not just any burger - but whatever you loved the most. Me? Cookies in heaven drizzled with chocolate. OK - not drizzled - dunked.
And we can sing our praises to God in between bites. YUM - God is great!

Its a good question.

My answer would be no. The reason? Idol worship, We will have no need to idolize anything teresterial. To have a thirst or appitite for something teresterial is Idol worship.

I don’t think wanting to eat a hamburger is idol worship. I mean, here on Earth, I occasionally want a good juicy hamburger, and I’m not idoliszing it. God made hamburgers for man. The Catholic Church doesn’t teach material pleasures are evil, but a obsession with them can lead to sin.
 
I hope there will be food, because theres nothing I enjoy more than a good pizza! But based on history we humans have a habit of misinterpreting God’s message, so its likely it won’t be anything like we could ever imagine. Either way, it should be fun:bounce:
 
Dr. Colossus:
In the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve ate from all of the trees in the garden save one. If they were sustained by Grace, they would have had no need to eat, yet they did. This suggests that God created food not only for sustenance, but as a physical way to give us joy. So I think that, yes, we will be able to enjoy good food (possibly hamburgers :D) after the resurrection.

In keeping with the Garden of Eden analogy I was going to add to this statement the phrase “but only if hamburgers grow on trees.”

CatholicGeek:
By my logic and the following facts:
  • HAMBURGERS are made from COWs.
  • COWs are ANIMALS.
  • ANIMALS have no SOULS.
  • Only SOULS go to HEAVEN.
The logical conclusion is:
  • NO HAMBURGERS in HEAVEN!

but since plants don’t have immortal souls either, we may be out of luck 😦
 
I dunno if this makes sense to anyone else, but from my weird philosophical stance, I think this thread is a great example of perfect conversation matter. 😃 The way I see it, this is the “creme de la creme” of human conversation.

All the raging **atheism vs. theism!****, “metaphysics vs…” **whatever, has the sole purpose (I believe) of leading us up to relaxed, carefree, God-loving conversation place.

I think we could learn a lesson from “child-play”. After all, Jesus said “the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to [children].” (Saint Matthew, 19:14)

God bless the children! (I include myself in this 😃 )

Actually, no, it doesn’t make sense. First of all, it sounds like you’re saying that it is idol worship to have a taste for a specific food, or anything, fpr that matter. Second, it also sounds like you’re saying that idol worship is acceptable, as long as we don’t place ot above God.

Perhaps you can clarify your opinion.

Now, excuse me while I go fix a Boca Burger. (Mmmmm) 👋
 
I think for this it is safe to look outside of the authority of the Church (the reader shivers…how daring!) and go along with Jimmy Buffet:

Cheeseburger in paradise…I like mine with lettuce and tomatos, a nice kosher pickle and french-fried potatos…

And if the song is any indication, it also means we’ll have ice cold beer.

Cheers!

If not, I hear there will be someone there who has experience turning water into wine. :clapping:
 
I think it’s time for the definitive answer to the question, and here it is:

Yes, there will be Hamburgers in heaven.

Also in heaven will be Frankfurters, Berliners, and other Germans.

This was a question that popped up in a class of mine.

Are there hamburgers in heaven after the end of time? (This narrows the answers down a bit).

Since we are reunited with our bodies, we are able to eat, right. Jesus ate with His Apostles after he was resurrected. And since Heaven is perfect bliss, we should be able to have a good hamburger, right?

Not sure, but Jimmy Buffett promises that there are “Cheeseburgers in Paradise”.

The way I see and from what I read(loosly) any desire of anything earthly other then basic needs is a form of Idol Worship. Now the issue is are you placing that worship above God, this is where is become sin.

So I am saying that in heavan our only desire will be of the Holy Spirit(I think at least).

Peace 🙂

Is there intelligent life on earth?

I would think not (hamburgers), because I don’t think there’s any ketchup in heaven (I’m not sure Theresa Heinz Kerry would be there to manufacture it). There certainly is no beer (that’s why we drink it here). And, I think they would have run out of pickles long ago, if those Jewish angels hadn’t eaten them all.

In our glorified essence we will have no need for food or drink. There is no death in heaven. Therefore, you wouldn’t be “dying” for a hamburger there.

Whoops, Karl, beg to disagree.
 
When I was a Protestant, my overweight pastor used to say that when he got to heaven he was going to have a hamburger (there wouldn’t be any calories) with Samuel and ask him all kinds of questions (there’d be plenty of time for conversation)!

In fact, every time a question came up about why did so-and-so do that in the Bible, he would say that when he got to heaven he would have a burger with them and ask.

Hello Brothers & Sisters in Christ!
Hamburgers in Heaven? Why Not! Everything GOD created (and HE created everything!) is Good. In Genesis, HE says so himself! Amen! So I beleive that everything created here on Earth will be in Heaven and more! Even Hamburgers. We may not “need” to eat but we might have the desire placed in us to want to eat. Every desire GOD planted in us can be satisfied.
In fact, top quote a audio book “A Travel Guide to Heaven”, there can be New Foods and flavors in Heaven! For you Hamburger Lovers, there my be something superior you would desire greater than hamburger. Look at light. Up until about the last century we thought only the rainbow colors existed. But there are at least 2 light colors that only recently we can see & enjoy…Ultraviolet and Ifrared! In heaven there will probably be New Colors also in addition to the ole RGB (Red, Green, Blue). So Yes, I believe there is Hamburger in Heaven…but a whole lot more! Enjoy!
May God Bless America!

This is driving me nuts. I remember a movie with Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep (?) that was set in heaven. One of the heavenly benefits was that you could go to Sizzler and eat whatever you wanted without gaining weight.

I cannot remember the name of this movie.

I view cheeseburgers in the same way that I view rainbows, kittens, and sports cars. They are manifestations of God’s essential goodness. Heaven will have the ultimate of each of these.

Hell will have Hardee’s burgers, New York City Februaries, Siamese cats, and K-Cars.
